Highland Lakes (Buchanan & LBJ) Guide Report

Lake Buchanan: Water clear; 48-50 degrees; 1013.06' (7' low)
Cold fronts slow the bass bite for maybe a day or two before they go
on a feeding binge as the weather stabilizes. On the other hand,
cooler water temperatures kick start the stripers and white bass.
Largemouth are sluggish in 8'-25' over brushpiles along bluff ledges
using watermelon Devil's Tongues or camo JDC Drop Shot Worms on
drop shot rigs and Carolina rigged watermelon-red Snap Back lizards.
Stripers are good from The Willows uplake in 22'-30' drifting live bait,
vertically jigging 1/2 oz. silver Pirk Minnows, Albino Snap Back soft
jerkbaits rigged on a 3/0 RED Bait Jerker Hook (Falcon Lures) and
trolling 1/2 oz. striper jigs.
White Bass are fair to good w/limits of fish up to 2 lbs. on points at
Morgan Creek and from Beaver Creek to Mud Island trolling deep
diving Shad Raps, casting 2" Spoiler Shads and jigging 1/4 oz. Pirk
Minnows.

Lake LBJ: Water clear to stained; 51 degrees; 825.96' (full)
This latest cold front will effect bass and crappie for a few days
but they'll be back on their feed as soon as the weather stabilizes
before the round of cold air moves in. White Bass, already plenti-
ful, should really improve.
Largemouth are only fair along docks, boulders and rip rap in 8'-15'
pitching black-purple 1/4 oz. Terminator Pro Series jigs, wacky
rigged bubblegum Scoundrel worms, smoke-red JDC Craws and
cranking medium chartreuse-blue back crankbaits.
Stripers N/A.
White Bass are good in 14'-26' over humps and along mainlake
points and channel breaklines vertically jigging Pirk Minnows and
swimming Spoiler Shads.
Crappie are fair to good in 4'-10' on brushpiles, laydowns and docks
w/wooden legs using 2" grubs on 1/16 oz. jigheads, 1/32 oz. plastic
or hair crappie jigs and minnows.
To book a guided trip w/the only fulltime guide fishing LBJ for
